Thanks Neil, just saw your reply, I haven't done anything on the car since my last post, the clunking noise is on and off and not getting worse so I'll have a look next time I'm doing the oil change. Will keep you updated.

Yeah thanks I'll check the mounts this weekend and the bottom torque rod looked fine when I checked few months back when replacing the transfer fluid. Will also try disconnecting the power steering pump as well to see if that makes a difference, it really feels like the clunking is coming from the ...

Hey guys,

I got RHD 2008 V50 AWD T5, and been getting this clunking noise coming from under the car (not sure if its on right or left side, but possible the right side) right after starting the engine. It kind of feels like the ABS self check but lot louder and car is stationary. Usually happens ...

So since I wrote that post back in 2018 I owned another two V50 AWDs and they all had that problem to a degree. My current v50 AWD I have has exactly the same issue with a whine (especially on deceleration) along with the a vibration in the centre console at around the same RPM. The car has done ...

Thanks guys for the responses, I got myself another V50 T5 which currently is apart due to overheating problem so I'll use the parts of it to check whats going on with my T5 AWD model.
I have noticed that the response is even worse when I first start driving from cold so I'm thinking it could be ...

Yeah I got an engine crane thats not an issue just trying to work out if I can remove the engine on its own from the top or both need to come out together with transmission.
Also does any know if the front support panel of these cars can be unbolted and the engine with transmission slide out from ...

Hi Everyone,

I got this 2010 Volvo V50 T5 which has an over heated engine, I was hoping it would be warped head that can be shaved of but looks like the warpage is on the block between the cylinder walls.
I think the best way to resolve this issue is to install another good engine rather then ...

Bit of an update, basically lot of grease and small vise helped to pop that ball joint back into its socket.
